IKEPOD Now Has A Cool New Home -> WATCHISMO!

IKEPOD NOW AVAILABLE AT WATCHISMO!

We're longtime fans and very proud to offer one of the coolest brands in the history of watchmaking

Combining a multitude of influences, from Switzerland to Australia,
and across to New York, Ikepod is a watch brand like no other - boasting
some of the most wonderfully individual watches of the modern age.
Designer Marc Newson designed all the watches and his aesthetic genius
is evident in each understated piece that is elegantly simple with a
truly avant-garde spirit. Collaborations with other artists include a
watch in conjunction with Jeff Koons and KAWS.

The Ikepod Horizon's
unique dial creates the optical illusion of appearing convex, thereby
emphasizing the three dimensional volume of the IKEPOD case. It makes
reference to the “event horizon” in astrophysics, literally meaning the
edge of a “black hole” – the moment when gravity becomes infinite, when
both time and space disappear. The timeless beauty and simplicity of
this wristwatch, juxtaposed with its reference to the mathematical end
of time and space, underscore the poetry and fleeting nature of
timekeeping itself.

Ikepod Kaws Horizon

Never
one to limit himself within the confines of a specific category of
artistic expression, the latest artist collaboration with KAWS takes
shapes with the street artist curating a custom-designed Ikepod Horizon
Wristwatch. Bringing together the Swiss watchmaker’s affinity for
contemporary and modern timepieces, the Ikepod KAWS
collaborative effort sees the trademark Chomper teeth motif emblazoned
across the black dial with the dual lines of his “X” graphic comprising
the hour and minute hands. True to the original Horizon models designed
by Marc Newson, the watch features a 44mm case and beautifully brushed
bezel.

Marc Newson's latest creation for Ikepod sees the Australian designer interpret the most iconic timepiece of all: The Hourglass.
Director Philip Andelman traveled to Basel, Switzerland, to document
the designer's modern take of the classic hourglass inside the
Glaskeller factory (see video on product pages). Each hand made
hourglass comprises highly durable borosilicate glass and millions of
stainless steel nanoballs.
